license to the data elements consisting of the Registered Name,
the IP addresses of nameservers, and the identity of the registering
registrar for propagation of and the provision of authorized
access to the TLD zone files.

2.6. Registrar's Registration Agreement and Domain
Name Dispute Policy. Registrar
shall have developed and employ in its domain name registration
business an electronic or paper registration agreement, including
a domain name dispute policy, a copy of which is attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit A (which may be amended from time to
time by Registrar, provided a copy is furnished to VGRS three
(3) business days in advance of any such amendment), to be entered
into by Registrar with each Registered Name holder as a condition
of registration. Registrar shall include terms in its agreement
with each Registered Name holder that are consistent with Registrar's
duties to VGRS hereunder.

2.7. Secure Connection.
Registrar agrees to develop and employ in its domain name registration
business all necessary technology and restrictions to ensure
that its connection to the System is secure. All data exchanged
between Registrar's system and the System shall be protected
to avoid unintended disclosure of information. Each RRP session
shall be authenticated and encrypted using two-way secure socket
layer ("SSL") protocol. Registrar agrees to authenticate
every RRP client connection with the System using both an X.509
server certificate issued by a commercial Certification Authority
identified by the Registry and its Registrar password, which
it shall disclose only to its employees with a need to know.
Registrar agrees to notify Registry within four hours of learning
that its Registrar password has been compromised in any way or
if its server certificate has been revoked by the issuing Certification
Authority or compromised in any way.

the entry of a domain name registration into the registry database,
the time shown in the VGRS records shall control.

2.11. Compliance with Terms and Conditions. Registrar agrees to comply with all other reasonable
terms or conditions established from time to time, to assure
sound operation of the System, by VGRS in a non-arbitrary manner
and applicable to all registrars, including affiliates of VGRS,
and consistent with VGRS's Cooperative Agreement with the United
States Government or VGRS's Registry Agreement with ICANN, as
applicable, upon VGRS's notification to Registrar of the establishment
of those terms and conditions.

2.12. Resolution of Technical Problems. Registrar agrees to employ necessary employees,
contractors, or agents with sufficient technical training and
experience to respond to and fix all technical problems concerning
the use of the RRP and the APIs in conjunction with Registrar's
systems. Registrar agrees that in the event of significant degradation
of the System or other emergency, VGRS may, in its sole discretion,
temporarily suspend access to the System. Such temporary suspensions
shall be applied in a nonarbitrary manner and shall apply fairly
to any registrar similarly situated, including affiliates of
VGRS.

VGRS as provided in Section 6.16 by making payment(s) up to the
full amount of the bond within ten (10) days of VGRS's having
notified the surety of its claim(s) of damages, having identified
the basis for any such claim. VGRS shall not be entitled to payment
under the Surety Instrument until such time as it has certified
that it has incurred expenses for which it is entitled to reimbursement
in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.16 of this Agreement.

2.14. Prohibited Domain Name Registrations. Registrar agrees to comply with the policies of
VGRS that will be applicable to all registrars and that will
prohibit the registration of certain domain names in the Registry
TLD which are not allowed to be registered by statute or regulation.

2.15. Indemnification Required of Registered Name
Holders. Registrar shall require
each Registered Name holder to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
VGRS, and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates
from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses arising
out of or relating to the Registered Name holder's domain name
registration.

3. LICENSE

3.1. License Grant.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, VGRS hereby
grants Registrar and Registrar accepts a non-exclusive, non-transferable,
worldwide limited license to use for the Term and purposes of
this Agreement the RRP, APIs and Software, as well as updates

TLD with the Registry on behalf of its Registered Name holders.
Registrar, using the RRP, APIs and Software, as well as updates
and redesigns thereof, will be able to invoke the following operations
on the System: (i) check the availability of a domain name, (ii)
register a domain name, (iii) re-register a domain name, (iv)
cancel the registration of a domain name it has registered, (v)
update the nameservers of a domain name, (vi) transfer a domain
name from another registrar to itself with proper authorization,
(vii) query a domain name registration record, (viii) register
a nameserver, (ix) update the IP addresses of a nameserver, (x)
delete a nameserver, (xi) query a nameserver, and (xii) establish
and end an authenticated session.

3.2. Limitations on Use.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, except
with the written consent of VGRS, Registrar shall not: (i) sublicense
the RRP, APIs or Software or otherwise permit any use of the
RRP, APIs or Software by or for the benefit of any party other
than Registrar, (ii) publish, distribute or permit disclosure
of the RRP, APIs or Software other than to employees, contractors,
and agents of Registrar for use in Registrar's domain name registration
business, (iii) decompile, reverse engineer, copy or re-engineer
the RRP, APIs or Software for any unauthorized purpose, or (iv)
use or permit use of the RRP, APIs or Software in violation of
any federal, state or local rule, regulation or law, or for any
unlawful purpose.

Registrar agrees to employ the necessary
measures to prevent its access to the System granted hereunder
from being used to (i) allow, enable, or otherwise support the
transmission by e-mail, telephone, or facsimile of mass unsolicited,
commercial advertising or solicitations to entities other than
Registrar's customers; or (ii) enable high volume, automated,
electronic processes that send queries or data to the systems
of Registry Operator or any ICANN-Accredited Registrar, except
as reasonably necessary to register domain names or modify existing
registrations.

3.3. Changes to Licensed Materials. VGRS may from time to time make modifications
to the RRP, APIs or Software licensed hereunder that will enhance
functionality or otherwise improve the System. VGRS will provide
Registrar with at least ninety (90) days notice prior to the
implementation of any material changes to the RRP, APIs or software
licensed hereunder.

4. SUPPORT SERVICES

4.1. Engineering Support.
VGRS agrees to provide Registrar with reasonable engineering
telephone support (between the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. local
Herndon, Virginia time or at such other times as may be mutually
agreed upon) to address engineering issues arising in connection
with Registrar's use of the System.

reasonable telephone and e-mail customer service support to Registrar,
not Registered Name holders or prospective customers of Registrar,
for non-technical issues solely relating to the System and its
operation. VGRS will provide Registrar with a telephone number
and e-mail address for such support during implementation of
the RRP, APIs and Software. First-level telephone support will
be available on a 7-day/24-hour basis. VGRS will provide a web-based
customer service capability in the future and such web-based
support will become the primary method of customer service support
to Registrar at such time.

5. FEES

5.1. Registration Fees.

(a) Registrar agrees to pay VGRS the non-refundable
amounts of US$ 6 for each annual increment of an initial domain
name registration and US$ 6 for each annual increment of a domain
name re-registration (collectively, the "Registration Fees")
registered by Registrar through the System.

(b) VGRS reserves the right to adjust the
Registration Fees prospectively upon thirty (30) days prior notice
to Registrar, provided that such adjustments are consistent with
VGRS's Cooperative Agreement with the United States Government
or its Registry Agreement with ICANN, as applicable, and are
applicable to all registrars in the Registry TLD. VGRS will invoice
Registrar monthly in arrears for each month's Registration Fees.
All Registration Fees are due immediately upon receipt of VGRS's
invoice pursuant to a letter of credit, deposit account, or other
acceptable credit terms agreed by the Parties.

5.2. Change in Registrar Sponsoring Domain Name. Registrar may assume sponsorship of an Registered
Name holder's existing domain name registration from another
registrar by following the policy set forth in Exhibit B to this
Agreement.

(a) For each transfer of the sponsorship
of a domain-name registration under Part A of Exhibit B, Registrar
agrees to pay VGRS the renewal registration fee associated with
a one-year extension, as set forth above. The losing registrar's
Registration Fees will not be refunded as a result of any such
transfer.

(b) For a transfer approved by ICANN under
Part B of Exhibit B, Registrar agrees to pay VGRS US$ 0 (for
transfers of 50,000 names or fewer) or US$ 50,000 (for transfers
of more than 50,000 names).

Fees under this Section 5.2 shall be due
immediately upon receipt of VGRS's invoice pursuant to a letter
of credit, deposit account, or other acceptable credit terms
agreed by the Parties.

5.3. Pro-Rata Charges for ICANN Fees. Registrar agrees to pay to VGRS, within ten (10)
days of VGRS's invoice, a portion of any variable registry-level
fees paid by VGRS to ICANN, pro-rated among all registrars sponsoring
registrations in the Registry TLD based on their relative numbers
of domain-name registrations sponsored.

5.4. Non-Payment of Fees.
Timely payment of fees owing under this Section 5 is a material
condition of performance under this Agreement. In the event that
Registrar fails to pay its fees within five (5) days of the date
when due, VGRS may stop accepting new registrations and/or delete
the domain names associated with invoices not paid in full from
the Registry database and give written notice of termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(b) below.

Exhibit
B
Policy on Transfer of Sponsorship of Registrations Between Registrars

A. Holder-Authorized Transfers.

Registrar Requirements.

The registration agreement between each
Registrar and its Registered Name holder shall include a provision
explaining that a Registered Name holder will be prohibited from
changing its Registrar during the first 60 days after initial
registration of the domain name with the Registrar. Beginning
on the 61st day after the initial registration with the Registrar,
the procedures for change in sponsoring registrar set forth in
this policy shall apply. Enforcement shall be the responsibility
of the Registrar sponsoring the domain name registration.

For each instance where an Registered Name
holder wants to change its Registrar for an existing domain name
(i.e., a domain name that appears in a particular top-level domain
zone file), the gaining Registrar shall:

1) Obtain express authorization from an
individual who has the apparent authority to legally bind the
Registered Name holder (as reflected in the database of the losing
Registrar).

a) The form of the authorization is at
the discretion of each gaining Registrar.

b) The gaining Registrar shall retain a
record of reliable evidence of the authorization.

2) In those instances when the Registrar
of record is being changed simultaneously with a transfer of
a domain name from one party to another, the gaining Registrar
shall also obtain appropriate authorization for the transfer.
Such authorization shall include, but not be limited to, one
of the following:

a) A bilateral agreement between the parties.

b) The final determination of a binding
dispute resolution body.

c) A court order.

3) Request, by the transmission of a "transfer"
command as specified in the Registry Registrar Protocol, that
the Registry database be changed to reflect the new Registrar.

a) Transmission of a "transfer"
command constitutes a representation on the part of the gaining
Registrar that:

(1) the requisite authorization has been
obtained from the Registered Name holder listed in the database
of the losing Registrar, and

(2) the losing Registrar will be provided
with a copy of the authorization if and when requested.

In those instances when the Registrar of
record denies the requested change of Registrar, the Registrar
of record shall notify the prospective gaining Registrar that
the request was denied and the reason for the denial.

Instances when the requested change of
sponsoring Registrar may be denied include, but are not limited
to:

1) Situations described in the Domain Name
Dispute Resolution Policy

2) A pending bankruptcy of the Registered
Name holder

3) Dispute over the identity of the Registered
Name holder

4) Request to transfer sponsorship occurs
within the first 60 days after the initial registration with
the Registrar

In all cases, the losing Registrar shall
respond to the e-mail notice regarding the "transfer"
request within five (5) days. Failure to respond will result
in a default "approval" of the "transfer."

Registry Requirements.

Upon receipt of the "transfer"
command from the gaining Registrar, VGRS will transmit an e-mail
notification to both Registrars.

VGRS shall complete the "transfer"
if either:

1) the losing Registrar expressly "approves"
the request, or

2) VGRS does not receive a response from
the losing Registrar within five (5) days.

When the Registry's database has been updated
to reflect the change to the gaining Registrar, VGRS will transmit
an email notification to both Registrars.

Records of Registration.

Each Registered Name holder shall maintain
its own records appropriate to document and prove the initial
domain name registration date, regardless of the number of Registrars
with which the Registered Name holder enters into a contract
for registration services.

Effect on Term of Registration.

The completion by VGRS of a holder-authorized
transfer under this Part A shall result in a one-year extension
of the existing registration, provided that in no event shall
the total unexpired term of a registration exceed ten (10) years.

B. ICANN-Approved Transfers.

Transfer of the sponsorship of all the
registrations sponsored by one registrar as the result of acquisition
of that registrar or its assets by another registrar may be made
according to the following procedure:

(a) The gaining registrar must be accredited
by ICANN for the Registry TLD and must have in effect a Registry-Registrar
Agreement with VGRS for the Registry TLD.

(b) ICANN must certify in writing to VGRS
that the transfer would promote the community interest, such
as the interest in stability that may be threatened by the actual
or imminent business failure of a registrar.

Upon satisfaction of these two conditions,
VGRS will make the necessary one-time changes in the registry
database for no charge, for transfers involving 50,000 name registrations
or fewer. If the transfer involves registrations of more than
50,000 names, VGRS will charge the gaining registrar a one-time
flat fee of US$ 50,000.
